Hyundai Tucson

"Vibration at low speeds"

"Ocassional rough shifting at low speeds, reported to Hyundia tech, nothing found. I will continue to monitor. If situation becomes worse, will have to become more aggressive."

"Low speed hesitation and not smooth shifting at low speed."

"At very low speed or idling, it almost stalled out. Dealer adjusted and is much better."

"Terrible transmission shake when first moving. First gear is terrible the others are OK. The dealer says I'm nuts and they can't replicate the problem. Just drive this car in traffic for a few blocks and you'd want to put a for sale sign on it! Embarrassing when you have guests in the car. Very poor transmission that was put into service prematurely."

"Clutch engagement when starting from a stop produces a slight chatter. There have been 2 service bulletins/recalls on this which have been applied with minimal results. It's not these symptoms that bother me the most, it's the reports of MAJOR problems with this transmission that might occur in the future. If I had known of these problems when shopping for this car I would have chosen a different trim level that came with a true automatic transmission. It's the anxiety about future problems and the possibility of a transmission failure causing an unsafe condition (which has happened to others) that cause me to rate this vehicle as wouldn't buy again. In other respects we like this vehicle."

"Seemed to catch at the start of acceleration. The recall fixed it."

"The dual clutch transmission is largely misunderstood by consumers, and their lack of information on how best to use it. It delivers quick shifts, and saves on gas mileage, but the implementation in this vehicle is lacking in certain ways. I believe it could be improved with better electronics."

"CVT is horrible. Vehicle does not alwats accelerate from a stop and will hesitate when accelerating from a complete stop almost causing accidents. Very scary. CVT also jerks/coughs/rough shifting at times when accelerating from a complete stop. There have been 2 recalls to update the CVT but the issues still exist. This vehicle is a safety hazard"

"doesn't shift smoothly around 40 MPH"

"Hesitation, Las g,"

"At low speed the transmission shifts up and down making for rough driving"

"7 speed electronic transmission had inconsistent downshifting causing severe lag when accelerating and needed two software patches at dealership before shifting was at least acceptable but still not ideal"

"It sometimes jumps when you take off or sometimes it's like it is not in gear and goes nowhere. I have had it reprogrammed 4 times and it's great for a few weeks then starts acting up again. The last update worked better and longer. I am afraid it affects my gas mileage"

"Don't like the new dual clutch transmission. Shifting is uneven, especially from dead stop"

"At times the vehicle does not respond ( hesitates) Immediately when the accelerator is pressed downward. It jerks when the transmission does finally engage."

"Especially when cold. First gear to second gear transition is choppy in the dual clutch. I imagine it might stall (it never has) but it is not smooth off the line in the economy mode."

"The car hesitates upon acceleration. Could be dangerous, but dealer says it's normal. I don't believe it."

"The design was problematic for all cars with this model year and they've never been able to resolve the problem"

"Duel clutch system that causes hesitation and lurch on acceleration. Current open class action suit"

"Wasstopped in an intersection, stepped on the throttle, and the car didn't move. Shifted to neutral and back into drive, finally got the car to move and drove home. Called Hyundai roadside service and they promptly towed the car the nearest Hyundai dealer, 50 miles distant. The dealer performed the recall transmission work and the problem has not happened since. In fairness, I did not have the transmission recall work done two years ago as it was inconvenient to go to the distant dealer (the Hyundai dealer had closed) and I wasn't having any problems. The slippage probably may not have occurred if I had been more diligent."

"Slipping does only once the vehicle start moving after being in stop mode. Dealer does not admit that this is an issue to be taken care of. Car has being doing this since brand new."

"It is a hesitates when you pull out.Merging with traffic.Slippage.It’s dangerous."

"Slipping when taking off from. A stop"

"DCT transmission had hesitation from a stop. There was recall for this (software), and after software update (ECM and TCM) it improved, however I still experience occasionally shuddering and vibrations (in low speed). I hope Hyundai will fix it soon"

"Had an issue where I tried to accelerate and the car didn't move from a stop"

"corected by recall/campaign"

"inconsistent shifting and slippage. had many conversations with dealership. they made transmission adjustments 2 or 3 times it is improved but still very inconsistent"

"strp on gas from a park area ..delay in going"

"It seems to be a known problem with this transmission. We received numerous messages to bring it in to get repaired but it never seemed to fix the problem."

"Cannot back up on steep hill. DCT sometimes hesitates or fails to engage. Rough shifting. Class action suit pending."

"The DCT can decide not to shift into gear and sometimes aggressively shifts into gear and causes the car to lurch or buck."

"has been a problem since the beginning. Have had many recalls"

"Since purchase"

"Hesitation when starting from a stopped position. Have to be careful when pulling into traffic."

"Hesatates when starting out"

"Trans shifting problem surging,wound shift properly"

"The DCT is subject to inconsistent engagement from a stop, and shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. Hyundai has issued several software updates for the TCM, which have been somewhat helpful. Shift quality is probably the most notable weakness of the car, although it is not a deal breaker."

"Fails to provide power immediately after a stop."

"Was not shifting smoothly, adjusted at dealer and is working OK."

"Does not always downshift to 1st gear when slowing in traffic unless it comes to a full stop causing the vehicle to be problematic when trying to get into a faster moving stream of cars"

"Hyundai Tucsons use a 7-speed automated manual gearbox. The programming has been upgraded twice; however, there are still times when it chatters in stop and go traffic, and, most disturbing, the transmission pauses in no gear which can leave you in the middle of an intersection with a car that won't move"

"Vehicle dies suddenly. No acceleration from stop. Frequent hesitations"

"turbo lag"

"CVT is horrible. Vehicle does not alwats accelerate from a stop and will hesitate when accelerating from a complete stop almost causing accidents. Very scary. CVT also jerks/coughs/rough shifting at times when accelerating from a complete stop. There have been 2 recalls to update the CVT but the issues still exist. This vehicle is a safety hazard"

"Was jerking during takeoff"

"They have had to change something in trans for shifting delay problem"

"Hyundai has performed 3 different adjustments to transmission. It continues to hesitate and start roughly from a stop, which we consider very dangerous when pulling out in traffic. I think its a combination between this so called "dual clutch transmission" and an under powered engine whose "turbo" is slow in responding"

"Recalls were done. We had transmission not going, not shifting but stalling, then jack rabbit movement . Trouble getting going and staying while going into traffic or driving. They adjusted computer 5 times but usually said no problem found. The SUV did drive different for. While then back to same problem. Mileage poor when SUV not working right. Never sent recall message but found out when we drove 120 miles to dealer. It took 3 months for dealer to get papers from lease correct. Love the SUV"

"Had 3 updates for the transmission shifting characteristics"

"it took 2 software updates to correct transmission problem, first update corrected chug from start but added intermittent slip problem. second update corrected both problems"

"While starting up, the transmission would not engage. It only had the problem when we were going downhill. Dealer said it was a software problem. After updating the software it has run as expected"

"Dual clutch Transmission needs to be reprogrammed. Hesitation at low speeds"

"Transmission was brought in for two technical bulletin updates. First instance the vehicle was stopped at an intersection and the transmission failed to engage. Multiple attempts were made to move the vehicle forward and it took ~2 min before the transmission finally responded"

"The transmission will disengage while driving at slow speeds. You can put your foot down and the car just sits and thinks about it."

"Car when starting out mostly cold would jerk, sometimes engine would spin up without connecting with the drive shaft, eco mode especially troublesome, software update didn't solve problem, recently the transmission computer was replaced and updated software under warranty and now the car drives beautifully, old problems gone and we really like driving the car."

"Transmission did not shift smoothly when starting from a stop. Dealer made some adjustments to the computer, and it is better."

"Sometimes, on the DCT version, the clutch decides to not engage when you try to accelerate."

"delay in acceleration, at low speed, when turning in traffic & when pulling out at lights"

"Hesitation on acceleration usually at traffic light when accelerating at green light, or when turning at low speed"

"Not sure if it's the sensor, but the automatic shifting from a full stop into first gear is almost always delayed, then the engine guns it high."

"I think this is the right area. My main problem is the horrible hesitation and almost stopping sometimes. Over and over for 2+years of lease. Rebooting the computer solves the problem for a few months and will start again. Very hard to drive with the hesitating. I didn't hear about the problem until after I got this car. I had researched which SUV to get and I guess I got the car before this all came to light. Now the gas mileage will drop below 20mpg for awhile then get better for no reason. My driving routine is pretty much the same all the time. It is not meant to be an intown car I have concluded? It will get 32mpg for an extended hwy. trip. So go figure."

"Slips while driving, preignition noises"

"transmission delay"

"in the heat of the summer, the AC simply stopped working, it would only spew out hot air. We took it in to be fixed three times throughout the summer. We're at the end of spring now, and it's still causing issues. What happens now is that when we stop at a stoplight, the air temperature goes from cool to hot. Then when we start up again, the temperature goes down again"

"ac not cold enough. blows hot air"

"compressor failed, started in June, replaced 2 weeks"

"Din not cool the car."

"The air condition system does not cool properly. It will start blowing cool air then switch to warm air."

"Have to turn heat above 75 to get warm in winter, and below 67 to cool down on a normal day when the temperature is comfortable outside and air conditioner not necessary. Other times everything works as is expected and keeps temperature as expected."

"After driving for couple of hours cold air and volume of air fades have had it back to the dealer four times for this issue the first two times they said that this was normal. third time the change evaporator didn't fix problem. Forth time change a sensor seems to have fixed problem but won't know for sure until we take a long trip only happens after about one to two hours steady driving. Googled problem other 2016 Tucson owners have had same problem"

"same issues at the condenser. I'm not sure what the cause was, but it warranted taking it in multiple times"

"The a/c stopped working while on the highway for about an hour. Turned it off for about 20 minuets and it worked when we turned back on. It has done this twice. Dealer can't replicate the problem"

"Ac shuts offs intermittently while driving in hot weather. Comes back on following restart of car"

"during airconditioning cycle cold air and hot air comes on and off"

"Lost ac slowly during a road trip. After stopping it would come back and then be lost. Took it to dealer and was told there was a recall for that problem. Never notified! Repair done and have had no problem since"

"Blower inconsistent"

"When driving on a longer trip of 500 miles or more the blower will stop. You can hear it blowing but nothing is coming out"

"I'm not sure it's the blower, but when the air is blowing it stinks!"

"The air stops coming out of the vents even though the blower is still on high. it only happens on long trips"

"caused a refrigerant leak, making AC unusable."

"Evaporator temperature sensor replaced"

"no consistance cooling"

"In sub-freezing temp when engine is at idle or low load/speed the engine temp will not maintain normal operating temp. Results in less than optimum cabin temp. Have had the engine thermostat replaced but that did not correct the problem. Dealer has no clue"

"Nav screen has gone dark on 2 occasions (30 seconds) , reported to HyundiaI dealership, checked out system, could not find a problem. Wait & further evaluate, hopefully no more incidents before warranty expires."

"Blank screen caused by extreme cold temperatures"

"screen goes blank when cold"

"Display - radio station and navigation disappears on the display. At this point the display only shows the time in big numbers. Display resets itself after car is stopped and restarted. This problem is very intermittent and can not be reproduced at the dealer service department"

"Went blank in very cold weather"

"Not accurate, takes me to places not programed. End up using phone or dash mounted GPS"

"The system is not very accurate regarding the time it takes to get from point A to B. On a 3 hour trip it can be as much as 1 hour off, meaning too long"

"You have to buy an update disk to get the latest maps. No auto update."

"Intermittently does not function properly"

"The system keeps saying the contact download is starting every time we start the vehicle I have repaired the phone many times and it works for a while then starts again. Dealer will not fix"

"It is a pain to pair our phones with their in dash screen. Also, the usb port has never worked. We have not gotten this looked at yet."

"In cold weather the Satellite part does not load until the unit warms up. Took 3 months to get it replaced after I threatened a talk with the General Manager and Hyundai Corporate offices. So far, so good. Never understood why the delay on a warrantied item!"

"Light came on indicating something was wrong with the engine, dealer said software updates needed fixed in 15 minutes"
